TUCIPS! 
The tulips offered on this and the next three pages are all large May flowering, 
tall (20"-34") tulips. Since these tulips (which include the Cottage, Darwin, 
Breeder and others) all flower at approximately the same time and so can be 
planted together effectively, we separate them only in color groups for easier 
selection. The code letter following each variety indicates the relative earliness 
in flowering and the number, the usual height in inches. We furnish top size, 
plump bulbs in every case. 
Varieties especially recommended for forcing are marked thus *.
